1. All Alpacas entering the venue
for the Indiana Alpaca Invitational must be micro-chipped.
A veterinarian will be available to microchip alpacas
for a fee if one cannot be found.
2. All alpacas entered in or present
at the show must be tested for BVDV using the PCR test.
One test in the lifetime of the alpaca is sufficient to
ensure that it is not a Persistently Infected (PI) alpaca.
The BVDV "negative" or BVDV "not detected"
test result must be written on the Certificate of Veterinary
Inspection (CVI) along with the date of the test, the
lab that performed the test and the testing method (PCR).
Any Animals BVDV tested using VI will be accepted if done
prior to 1/1/2010.
3. Each Alpaca must
have a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) (Health
Certificate). The CVI must be completed by a licensed
and accredited veterinarian and must list the animal’s
ARI number, microchip number, age, sex and breed. The
CVI must be completed within 30 days of the last day of
the show. Please bring TWO
copies of the Health Certificate with you, one
of which the Show Superintendent will keep as a part of
the permanent show record. Please call the Indiana State
Board
of Animal Health at 877-747-3038 with any questions.
YOU
MUST BRING A COPY OF THE HEALTH CERTIFICATE TO THE CLERK’S
TABLE WHEN CHECKING YOUR ANIMALS IN.
